>you are also screwing over the employees at those businesses

Not to open this argument but it's not the patron's job to ensure the staff are paid appropriately. If servers don't want to run the risk of not being paid at least minimum wage, they should ensure their conditions of employment guarantee it and the business should reflect it in their prices.

It's literally the same thing, though.

$30 Hamburger, or $25 Hamburger + $5 tip.

With the latter, you at least get to decide how much to tip - and if you received awful service, you have some recourse/feedback mechanism.
